Overview
- On Jan. 24, 2026, federal immigration agents shot and killed Alex Pretti on Nicollet Avenue in south Minneapolis while bystanders say he stepped in to help a woman.
- Federal authorities recently shared evidence from the Pretti and Renée Good shootings with Hennepin County prosecutors, who are actively reviewing the materials but have not filed charges.
- Pretti’s family met with federal prosecutors after the evidence transfer and said they left unconvinced that accountability is closer.
- A large, community‑maintained memorial now marks the site and draws visitors from across the United States and abroad, serving as a focal point for remembrance and ongoing public attention.
- Nearby businesses such as My Huong Kitchen and b.resale sheltered protesters and journalists after the shooting and continue to balance mutual aid roles with economic recovery on the block.
